Belly Up


Okay this I had to say. So yesterday my brother was chilling at some movie-set doing a shoot for something. Now if you've ever been on a set then you'd know that there is usually catering there and they hook you up with all sorts of chow. Anyway while they were chilling there getting their eat on, all of a sudden this big ass truck full of cops rocks up. I forgot what they are called...not the Caspers but the other ones that look more like Toyota Hilux's. Whatever.

Anyway so these cats rock up and the Inspector straight goes to the catering table and stacks his plate the fuck up. I mean really stack his plate sky high. And he didnt say shit! Just straight up walked up to the table and helped himself. Okay maybe this cat's burger is a bit excessive but you get the point right. That's what it looked like. So he whistles a tsjovitsjo(or a vluit in Afrikaans) there and calls the rest of his boys to come join the party. There were about 8 cops in total and they all got down and dirty. Mind you the director and everyone else on the set were flabbergasted. Besides what could they say? These are the cops. So my bra goes to the one Constable who didnt want to eat and asks him, "Hey dude why arent you also chowing down?". He says "Well I dont feel comfortable eating because we are actually on our way to a call, somebodies just been hijacked". These are the people that protect us.
TRUE STORY. Promise! Cross my heart and hope to die!

Tell me bout it. Actually just read a letter from a News24 reader about how we dont appreciate cops and how we constanlty look down on them. If she only knew what the real deal is...

Thats so crazy, cant believe it. Typical really.

If you cant count on the police for protection, who we gonna count on?

Got mugged in Sandton couple months ago for cellphone by a group of punk ass kids with a gun. Cops took an hour to arrive at my complex to get a statement. they prob decided to get something to eat along the way instead...

pigs ...

Marbro > Oh word? Your pops was a cop? Man he must've been really strong mentally to go through all that shit that thrown at him(excuse the pun). But anyway I have to respect what they do cause it really is a stressful job but on the real though it becomes hard to respect the cops when you have shit like this to deal with. I'm sure you can agree

Dude, you got a Calvin and Hobbes book? Imma holla at you and we organise sumfing sumfing

Buzz > Okay you might believe this or you might not. We had an accident once in Killarney where the car was literally turned over on the side of the road and there was this cop car that rode past us. The cats just looked at us and kept on moving whilst we was shouting and waving at them to get their attention for help. Sounds crazy right? But its true. Someone could have been dead for all they knew but they didnt give a fuck.

Sonzabitches!

Really, no ways dude. its irresponsible and careless and then you hear of stories that could have been solved if they just took some time to do their job properly. re the laundry murders earlier this year. The murders got off scott free cause they took their freaken time and were slack with evidence...

Makes me so angry...

Dont even get me started on Home Affairs> eish...

That is the funniest thing I've read all week, you have to be kidding Suave.

'Strus Bob Wez! The Inspector guy actually chilled a bit after the meal and let the food settle a bit...while unbuttoning his top to make room for the food. I wouldnt be suprised if he asked where the nearest liquor store was to get a brewskie.

Hold on. This is so unbelievable. Were these cops not around on set because they had closed the road for the shoot or something?
How bizarre. What's even more bizarre is that no one really stopped them...

Suavé said...

Think about it Jam, you're sitting down having some lamb chops or whatever and you turn around and you see this cop car just pull in from nowhere and all these cops just jump out. What u gona say? It's the Police.
What you must understand is that these catering things are usually outside with chairs and tables all over the place where if you wanted to you could see the whole set if you were driving by, but obviously it was cordoned off.

Having been part of many film crews and knowing what goes down in the film industry, my first thought would have been "run" if I saw a van full of cops appear! ;-)
Talk about abuse of power! Idiots!

Suavé said...

Great, then you can understand how strange the situation was.

I think I would have run too. Maybe that's cause I'm a black dude and cops scare the shit outta me!

Suave trust me, it's not race specific. They make me want to run too...

Suavé said...
